kalah 's review for:
Rebel Angels
by Libba Bray
It took a while to hit the good part, but when I did the book flew by. I'm always hesitant after reading the first half of the book if I can finish it or will I be able to recommend it to someone else, but around that point it gets good and i finish it in a couple hours. For a while I think the main characters relationships are also poisonous and should be abandoned in a biohazard container immediately. But then they turn around and are friends and helpful and you think they are perfect. Which probably says something to the accuracy of friendships but sometimes the jealousy is so blatant and toxic that I wish they would stop.
That out of my system, it's a good plot line. If you get side-tracked (or annoyed like me), go read a couple spoilers (I read four before finding my motivation) so you know it's worth finishing. Gemma has to find the Temple and seal the magic again while avoiding everyone (Circe, the Order, the Rakshana, and reality in general) and maintain proper English young lady appearances for everyone (teachers, family, society, new potential boyfriend). I've already expressed my opinion on the friendship but it's Victorian England so I suppose some of it is to be expected but it is really the only thing I can fault with the series. I think I would like it more if some people would grow a backbone and others would get rid of the biohazard material floating around their heads.
Anyways...
It might take me a few years to get to the sequel, but I am well aware that I'll probably attempt the sequel because I mostly like the writing style.
